What Obama wants to do is to get the Public Option which will then crowd out private insurance over the next 20 years. In 20 years if the Public Option is adopted then you will have no private insurance. Obama and the Democrats want to kill private health insurance. I doubt we will have many good Doctors in 20 year if this happens either....Obama wants a complete take over of the health care industry. All the savings he talks about is all lies. It is laughable that he talks about "Rugged Americans!" Also, how many millions of people will lose their jobs when private insurance is killed off?]]>

1. The quality of healthcare will go DOWN

2. The cost of healthcare will go UP

Any time the government distorts the free market for a good or service the cost for this good or service increases. The only segment of healthcare that is seeing a decrease in costs is elective plastic surgery. Go price a breast augmentation compared to 10 years ago. The prices are lower! The free market works!!! The government has not distorted the cost of a breast job as they do not pay for it. If they did it would be far more expensive. Get the government out of the economy! All of it!]]>

Obama's Donut Economics http://seekingalpha.com/article/149599-obama-s-donut-economics?source=feed#comment-613625 613625
Well stated! Don't forget that China requires most all cars sold in China to be made in China. They subsidize their steel industry to the tune of 1 billion a week. Free trade? What is that? You will never have free trade without the free movement of currencies! China controls their currency. All the world is a sham! What do we get? Obama and Biden. So far away from Thomas Jefferson and say, John C. Calhoun, it is not even funny! America is in its last throws as a great power unless we make radical changes. The Federal Government was never mean to be so big and have such power and scope. The American people are, generally, a clueless lot that just don't get it. ]]>
